SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS

This archipelago is a veritable haven for wildlife. Penguin colonies abound and fur and elephant seals shelter in the bays. The scenery is breath-taking with towering black rocks interspersed with glacial ice, hundreds of meters thick. Bask in the thermal waters of Deception Island and visit Elephant Island where Shackleton’s crew waited 135 days for rescue.
